Westbrook nears triple-double in Thunder victory (AP)

February 27, 2010

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Al Jefferson(notes), left, shoots in front of Oklahoma City Thunder center Nenad Krstic(notes), right, of Serbia, in the second quarter of an NBA basketball game in Oklahoma City, Friday, Feb. 26, 2010. Jefferson had 12 points for Minnesota, but Oklahoma City won 109- 92.

Russell Westbrook's first season in the NBA was a trial by fire in trying to play a mostly new position at the highest level. And it showed. As the Oklahoma City Thunder go through perhaps the league's most remarkable turnaround this season, none of their players embodies it more than their second-year point guard.
